Moonshiner's Daughter - 12:00 noonAs a contemporary string band, they are emerging as Ontario Bluegrass favourites. Sisters Trish Schnurr and Cara Croll, do most of the singing, playing guitar and bass. Their husbands, Adam Croll, five-string banjo, and Mark Schnurr, mandolin, do the picking. They handle everything from straight up bluegrass to blues, folk, country and fine original songs. The women blend their quite different voices as only sisters can. Known for high energy, lively performances, moonshiner's daughter will bring the jam from the kitchen table to the road!

Adam Crossman - 1:00 p.m.When you close your eyes and listen to his music, you will have a hard time believing it is just one man on stage with an acoustic guitar, two hands and an endless passion for his art. Adam Crossman is a solo acoustic fingerstyle guitarist emerging from the small town of Bethany, Ontario. He simultaneously creates a variety of tones and textures from a mere six-string acoustic guitar. Adam uses a range of altered tunings, two-handed tapping techniques, harmonics, capos, and percussive hits to emulate the sound of a full band in his compositions
